Riley Ludwig

I am really glad that I was able to be a part of Melvin's life for many reasons. A few are that he is someone who knows how to make everyone smile without even trying. He is an extremely comical guy to converse with. I really like how he spoke his mind and exactly what he was thinking whether it was appropriate or not (in Eileen's view). His stories were great, his smile was great. Melvin was an excellent friend and family member to all and he was a very good grandpa figure to me along with an even better friend and fishing buddy. I enjoyed driving 95 mph on dirt roads with him to get to the lake on time to fish and him letting me drive when I was around the age of 10 and enjoy a cigar with him at the lake. On one specific occasion while Eileen was shopping inside Walmart, Melvin and I took a detour on electric riding carts and had a great evening racing and running into people and causing quite a scene!! I only have great memories of being with Melvin and all of them put a grin on my face. If you were able to know Melvin consider yourself fortunate because he is a one of a kind guy and an all around great person.
